...just me, or does this sound like an R. Kelly song? A 24-year-old Brooklyn musician named Michael Gregory has combined a number of evening news broadcast clips and turned them into a vaguely acceptable faux R&B series called Auto-Tune the News. The first video featured Newt Gingrich, the NCAA Championships and Joe Biden. But this one? This one has a gorilla...
...today's media environment, there are two ways broadcast networks can draw a big audience, as they did in the halcyon precable days. One is by programming series, like Idol and Dancing with the Stars, that are essentially sporting events. That is, they are simple to follow, they can be enjoyed by a wide demographic and age range, and - most important - they have no shelf life.

It's hard to imagine someone with a less mysterious resume than Saberi. Before working for NPR, the BBC and various American broadcast television stations, she was a beauty queen from North Dakota and a former Miss America contestant. A woman with bikini photos of herself on the Internet is an unlikely choice for the CIA to send on covert operations to a conservative Islamic country where women have to wear head scarves in public.
